Place d’Orléans
Place d’Orléans Station, formerly a Transitway station, is undergoing a significant upgrade! The station is located beside Place d’Orléans Shopping Centre and Highway 174. It will soon serve as a key transfer point between bus and O-Train Line 1 services.
Expect seamless connection with no fare gates between bus and train, and no need to revalidate payment. Four fare gates will facilitate transfers, serving riders coming from the pedestrian bridge, bus stop, or Place d’Orléans Shopping Centre.
